Florence Chapman, a relative caring mother for the Ghanaian rapper Shatta Wale’s mother, has shared troubling news concerning the woman’s mental health.
Chapman accused Afia, presumably a public figure, for disregarding Shatta Wale’s mother.
According to Chapman, Shatta Wale’s mother’s illness has deteriorated, resulting in mental problems. She disclosed that the mother has been experiencing suicidal thoughts and panic attacks, frequently waking up at night looking for her son.
Chapman explained, “Before we took her in, she lived in the village enduring these taunts. Her niece, Sherico, intervened, bringing her to Accra and ensuring she received medical care. Despite treatment, she still needs psychological support. She insisted on speaking out, threatening suicide if we stopped her, which is why she came forward.”
This comes after Shatta Wale’s mother openly stated that she felt abandoned by her son for more than ten years.
Chapman added, “Her condition deteriorated. She would wake up in the middle of the night asking for her son Junior, crying out for him. She has suffered mental breakdowns and repeatedly mentioned thoughts of suicide, which initially we thought might be emotional blackmail. She has faced mockery in her village where people accused Shatta Wale of neglecting her while spending on others. This constant reminder fuelled her suicidal thoughts.”
